A comparative study is presented of seventy-nine patients with rupture of the tendo achillis, forty-eight of whom were treated surgically and thirty-one, non-surgically. With one exception, all were healthy, athletic individuals. Twenty-two per cent of the patients had an initial misdiagnosis. The patients treated surgically were more satisfied with the results of their treatment. Strength, power, and endurance as measured on the Cybex II dynamometer revealed that the patients treated non-surgically attained only 72 per cent of normal strength and 70 per cent of normal power and endurance as compared with the surgically treated patients. Wound complications occurred in only two patients and no reruptures occurred in the surgically treated group, whereas there were nine rereptures in the group not treated surgically.
本文对79例跟腱断裂患者进行了一项对比研究，其中48例接受手术治疗，31例接受非手术治疗。除1例外，所有患者均为健康的运动员。22%的患者最初被误诊。接受手术治疗的患者对治疗结果更满意。通过Cybex II测力计测量的力量、功率和耐力显示，与手术治疗的患者相比，非手术治疗的患者仅达到正常力量的72%、正常功率和耐力的70%。仅2例患者出现伤口并发症，手术治疗组未发生再次断裂，而非手术治疗组有9例再次断裂。
